Eugene Alper's character only had a brief cameo in the aired episode, but Gregor featured prominently in one of the deleted scenes for "5:00pm-6:00pm." In the scene, he reminded Suvarov of Markov's ultra-nationalist views, and expressed that the Americans may be right in the alleged connection between the consul and Gredenko. Gregor then said that if Markov is guilty, and Suvarov failed to press him for details, Russia would then bear some of the responsibility if another bomb exploded in the US.
